That certainly is exotic a 6mm revolver!

I have a .240 Banshee TC barrel and was very surprised at the performance. Jacketed bullets around 80 grs. was about the top for the available powder. 60-70 grs. projectiles gave the best performance of power. There are some bullets even lighter these days. Older school lead core bullets perform fine as some new fangled bullets are designed around 4000 fps speeds.

I have a .255 Banshee on a Blackhawk chassis (8-shot) and enjoy it very much. I chose that caliber so to shoot some cast .25 WCF projectiles. My favored projectiles are 65-75 grs. with flat tips. The Speer is hands down favorite, Hornady makes a lighter jacketed bullet but I've not tried it. The bark is like a .357 but it recoils like a heavy frame .38 Special. Just a little jump.

My Single-Six Reeder custom is a .40 S&W cal. LOL Brass was cheaper than 10mm and I just seat the bullets to 10mm OAL and shoot 10mm loads anyway. I got to be me.

Before and after. It was a custom .32 H&R but I had Gary do a 5-shot caliber change and new barrel. The Ruger stock barrel/cylinder demanded .312" bullets and my others shoot .308. The .40 is a total hoot and cheap to shoot!
